Hydrogen carriers, such as hydrazine (N2H4), may facilitate long duration energy storage, a vital component for resilient grids by enabling more renewable energy generation. Lanthanide coordination chemistry with N2H4 as well as efforts to displace N2H4 from the metal coordination sphere to develop an efficient catalytic production cycle were detailed. Modeling the equilibrium of different ligand coordination, it was predicted that strong sigma donor molecules would be required to displace N2H4. Monitoring competition experiments with nuclear magnetic resonance confirmed that trimethyl phosphine oxide, dimethylformamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide displaced N2H4 in large or small lanthanide complexes.
